A chatty cat is being called a “queen” after a video was shared of her “daily updates” for her humans on social media. The “absolutely beautiful” Munchkin cat with “hypnotic eyes” couldn’t be any cuter chatting with mom, a daily occurrence according to her human. Whomever gave cats the reputation of being aloof hasn’t seen Nonna in a full conversation with mom. If only we spoke “Cat” and could figure out exactly what this gal is trying to say.
Keep reading to check out the adorable video and for the scoop on how and why cats like to chat.
The cute video popped up on my feed, and I immediately turned the sound up. Little Nonna, an absolutely stunning Munchkin cat (those eyes!), can be seen having what appears to be a full conversation with her human. No, cats can’t speak our language, but they do communicate with humans through a very sophisticated system of vocalization, exemplified by purrs, hisses, chirps, and meows.

Why Some Cats Love to “Talk” to Their Humans
Cats also use body language, by way of a wagging tail, ear twitches, slow blinks, and rubbing, to converse with other cats and humans. Cats use vocalization or body language to convey their needs and moods and can even adjust their sounds to communicate with humans. Nonna’s mom recognizes the cute cat’s daily updates as her way of speaking her language.
“Nonna is so beautiful,” one gushed over the photogenic feline. Another noted, “The fact that you can just look at that pretty face and listen to her talk whenever you want is wildly unfair.”
Another shared that their own cat wanted to chat with Nonna after hearing her video, writing, “Haha my cats came running and meowing to the phone looking around when they heard this.”
If you’re wondering whether Nonna really is giving daily updates or just likes the sound of her own voice, the former is likely the reason for her desire to chat. Cats, like humans, form deep bonds and use communication through sound as a way to maintain relationships. Intelligent by nature, domesticated cats also learn that meowing is an effective way to get the attention of other cats and humans.
Anyone else looking forward to finding out what Nonna’s doing tomorrow? Same.
